OK I admit I have been rubbish at blogging recently and I will continue to be rubbish over the festivities. It is just such a busy time of year. Last week passed really quickly even though Ross was away. I met up with my opera pals for lunch at Rogano so had a lovely big bowl of mussels, mmm! On Tuesday I was in Newcastle all day on business so finally managed to finish my book on the train - disappointing ending, I really hate that. On Wednesday night I went to Donna and Neil's for dinner in return for helping her wrap presents for every one of her pupils! I can't remember my teachers ever being that generous! On Thursday we had our team Christmas lunch at Ta'Paellya but I still managed spin class and a sauna after work so was chuffed with that! Ross came back Friday night so we spent a lovely weekend together. We went to the Mussel Inn for lunch on Saturday and I bought a bottle of champagne as I PASSED MY MANAGEMENT COURSE!!! I got the results online so was really pleased with a 75% overall grade. In fact Ross and I ended up drinking 3 bottles of champagne that night plus wine and beers so I can't remember much about the X Factor final!!
This week has been just as busy and I can't believe it's the 21st already! On Tuesday Ross and I went to see another house. We were the first viewers so made the most of the opportunity. We really like it so might think about putting in an offer - very exciting! I won't say too much about it right now because I don't want to jinx anything but watch this space!
On Wednesday it was my work Christmas party. It was a Bond theme night so everyone made a real effort to get glammed up. I went as Xenia Onatopp from Goldeneye although I got changed half way through the night as my catsuit was a bit hot and sticky!! After several cocktails I took to the floor for a karaoke version of Mustang Sally and then my pal Craig and I did a ropey rendition of Fairytale of New York - hilarious!
No more news really. I think I am coming down with a bad cold - typical - so I am going home to bed early tonight whilst Ross is out with his pals for Christmas drinks. I hope everyone is enjoying the festive season and look forward to catching up with you all over Xmas or in the New Year. xx
